The packet sniffer that Pai created is great but it has some problems with some wireless connections in wich it isn't able to make raw sockets. Can anyone make a packet sniffer that supports all wireless conections?

i agree plz help

Me too....

Wow, they added a lot
If you must keep track of a thread, use the Subscribe link at the bottom of the page instead of posting, especially if you have nothing to add.

And as for this raw sockets biz, they should exist on wireless too, since the only difference between that and a wired connection is the physical hardware.

Well yeah. But that seems to be the problem that the other sniffer has with wireless conections. At least that's what i have read in some posts.

It is also many times the fault of the network drivers themself, you can't do anything about it except for installing another driver. Some drivers for wireless do not allow for it, simple as that.

That was my theory, but then the Live Notifier script worked on my wireless connection that Xniff and the others don't, and it surely must use packet sniffing.

and that theory is still correct and still stands though....

Some drivers do make it impossible for whatever method you use.

However that doesn't mean there are no other methods you can use to actually make the raw socket. Some methods might not allow for wireless connections at all, other methods might allow it... but they all still would depend on the network drivers, despite what method you use...

So even if you use the complicated everything supporting method, it might still not work because the network driver is crappy.

I don't think it's the drivers cookie but for the case it is could you tell me what are the best drivers for the "INTEL Pro/Wireless 2200BG network connection" hardware version 0.1.3. My current driver version is 9.0.1.9.

DING! I have intel wifi too... coincidence?
